Summary of case: Already three men I had have joined the army, also one of my sons, my other son being rejected by the military through rupture, and he has to be very careful what he does. The only other assistance that I have is a man one or two days a week and is not to be relied upon. It is impossible for me to carry on without two men; it will mean a great financial loss to me if he has to go. [See also NRCC/CL 9/1/1754]
